MISCELLANEOITSADVIRTISEMENTi Scrofula, or King's Evil, is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may burst out in disease on any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is callously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dig ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, end, above all, by the venereal infection. What ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con stitution, descending " from parents to children unto tho third and fourth generation ;" indeed, it seems to bo the rod of Him who says, "I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children." Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or soros. This foul cor ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of hfe, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from scrofulous com plaints, but they have far less power to with stand the attacks of other diseases; conse quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofulous in their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint n the system. Most of the consumption which de cimates the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination ; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organ., arise from or aro aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people arc scrofulous ; their persona are invaded by this lurking in fection, and their• health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such n medicine we supply in AYER'S • Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this every where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com bined from the most active remedials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the system from its destructive consequences. Hence it should tat employed for the cure of not only acrofulu, but also those other affec tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIVE and SKIN DISEISBB, Sr. ANTHONY'S Frac, Rose, or ERYSIPELAS, Prnmns, l'usrvixs, BLOTCHES, BLAINE and Dons, Tunons, Term and SALT It/MUM, SCALD Man, ltrnowoltm, llnzexarrear, Sten.= and MERCURIAL Ds.

Oh hearts that break and give no sign Save whitening lip and fading tresses, Till Death pours out his cordial wine Slow•dropped from Misery's crushing r reuses, It' singaig breath or echoing chord To every hidden pang were given, What endless melodies were poured As sad as earth, as sweet as heaven She Blade Home Happy.

The lair unknown vies already passing over the window, as I saw by a hasty glance upwards, and then I did not venture to look up again for fear she wasn't dressed in 'Bloomers,' or that the moonlight !night injure my eyes. I steadied the unique ladder until a crowd of crinoline, in air. pensive power, came down uver my heed, end then retreated a few steps in order to reinsure the dimity within free and full descent. She soon reached terra firma or rather the side walk. 'Oh, dear,' she began, turning towards me—but just then was heard the cry of 'thieves—robbers—help!' within he house and I bgan to trembly apprehensively for the cause.

THE MASON'S LAST REQUEST. It :vas a very hot day to the summer of 1778. The British Ger.eral, Clinton, with a formidable army, was hastening across the sandy plains of New Jersey, to join the forces of General Howe at Sandy Hook. And Washington, with nn army once more regenerated into life, determined, if it lay within the bounds of possibility, to prevent that junction, and to effect hit purpose, sent on a large detachment of light troops under General Lee, to harass their arm ments and retard their progress until he could come up with his solo force and effect their rapture or destructO. The Briiish were overtaken by Lee, whom I have more than once said, and now repeat it, only needed Arnold's temp• tattoos and Arnold's wrongs to have been all or more a traitor l than was the latter.— Thu will was ‘I him, but opportunity did not serve. But to !Morn to my story. As soon as the American sharp shooters, in the van of Lee's division begun to annoy the British, the latter drew up in order of battle and prepnred for detnice. The Americans lividly pushed on, and n here driving all before them, when to their utter astonish ment, and tot he deep mortification of their gallant officers, who were flushed with the hope of a victory ~boost in the& hands, Gen. Lee ordered e retreat. Shame mantled many a brow then and there, and in spit. , of discipline, angry words broke from many a lip ; for then as now, the word retreat fell strangelx, dye, most harshly. upon an American ear. But the order had been given by him who had commanded and he must be obeyed. Yet so angry and unwilling were those who had fell back, that they did not pre. serve the order which they would hays done had they only been yielding to stern nec infte Brum, oyerryeu so ease, were pushing their advantages, as they _ever did, mercilessly ; and our brave men were falling fast before them, when suddenly dashing forward upon a horse, which was white with foam, rode that is: man upon whom a nation's fate depended. , What means this cowardly retreat Who dared to order it ? He thundered, How to Make Summer Beverages.

Though wounded and down, the brave officer still struggled, and drawing a pis tol, disabled a man whose bayonet was at his breast. Major Carroll'a sword was raised above his hand, Lit quickly a sign, a word, and the "widow's son " was safe, for the sword that woula have slain, was now a shield—the foe whose arm had just been rni,cl was now n brother, whose ex• tended hand was ready to lift him who lay upon the earth in such distress. But, alt ! fatal pause I that generous bosom, so full of fraternal love, which did not frOget duty even there, amid the wild carnage of battle, was pierced by a bullet; and the brave Carroll rank, dying, by the aide of him who linci culled for help, and had not been refused Washington's eye was on him—he knew who and what he was, for he had ant with him in a place where light aboun ded; but he could not wait--the enemy were flying and must be pursued. "On !" cried the dying hero to his men. Forward ! " he shouted to his men.-- "We are victorious end I am content." The battle was over. The British had been swept back over the gory field which thq had taken, and night had drawn its mantel over the horrors which the day ex pose I. And by Major Carroll's side knelt the only one of his race that was left to lite-- his youngest born. gis two oldest sons had fallen on that dear bought field.- - like himself, contented that they had died fur their country, and fell in the hour when victory was theirs. "Father, what can I do for you 1" said this boy hero, as he grasped his dying sire by the hand, and sustained his head upon his breast. 'Be. a man, and do your duty to your country.hrst, and to yuur mother next...— And, lad, save my masonic regalia. He, our nation's father, ingested me with it ! Save it, and de: so worthily that when you are of full age you to become entitled to near it. It is my last request." And soon the noble spirit of that brave, good roan left his body, and went to dwell with the great Architect of the universe. Aid, years after, when peace smiled upon our land the :.on fulfilled his father's request, and that cherished regalia is yet in the possesion of his descendauts. A Word to Mothoro. Beneath a mother's curse no child Wns ever known to thrive, A mother is a mother still— The holiest thing alive. So says Coleridge, in his moving poem of the "Three graves: l The cool, deliber• ate malediction of a mother, whose heart has been estranged and totted to hate to wards her own offspring is, indeed, ii fear ful, blighting thing. But there is anoth er mode by which a mother may curse het child, and that by neglecting us moral education. Maternal influence is a trite theme , yet as much as has been said to illustrate its power, it has never in our opinion been overrated. The mothers of a nation are its creators ; and from the po sition God and nature has given them, must be its conservators or destroyers, The influence of the nursery surpasses in depth and contmuence all other influences. As the mother, so is the son ; and with few exceptions, the character forwed during the first ten or twelve years of life is im mortal ; it Is that which we bear with us amid all the changes of time, and carry Away ulettered the eternal world. Mysterious Providence, One man sucks an orange, and is choked by a bit; another swallows a penknife, and lives ;one rung a thorn into his hand, and no skill can save him ; another has a shaft of a gig driven completely through his bo dy and recovers; one is overturnod on a smooth common, and breaks his neck, and another is tossed out of a gig over Brigh ton Cliff, and survives t one walks out on a windy diy and meets his death by a brickbat; another is blown :up in the air like Lord Hatton in Guernsey Castle and coines down uninjured. The escape of this nobleman was indeed a miracle. An explosion of gunpowder, which killed his mother, wife and some of his children, and ninny other persons, and blew up the whole fabric of the castle, lodged him in his bed on a wall overhanging a tromen. dour precipice. Preceiving a mighty dia.' order (us well he might) he was going to leap out of bed to know what the matter wan, which, if he had done he would have been irrevocably lost ; but in the instant of his moving a flash of lightning came and showed him the precipice, where - upon he lay still until the people came and took him down. CoNTBACIS FALLING Du* ON SUNDAY. A very important queation hos been rain. ed and decided in the Superior Court of New York—upon this subject, The par ticular case was that of policy of life insu rance expiring on Sunday, the prend um upon the renewal of which was not tendered till the following Monday. But the discussion involved the whole questi-n as to fulfilling any contract, en Sunday. The general notion is that in all cases the contract must be preformed, or the cli. or made to do :t on the preceeding Satur day. But the court in this case overruled the motion, and declared, that when from accident or mutunl error, tie day of fulfil mg an agreement falls upon Sunday, there is enough of principle and authority to octifir !ha ..nriir in da..rrlng, hie n, fpr. mance to the Monday ensuing, without tin paring a forfeiture.

Musk in a Backwoods Tavern A short time since a gentleman and la dy were traveling in Michigan, and having missed the stage had to sake a private conveyance from the town of Scuderi to Thornastown.
